Me encuentro con que el famoso sitio The Pirate Bay ha sido hackeado y les han robado toda la base de datos con la informacion de usuarios, contraseñas y e-mails. aunque en el sitio afirman que la informacion esta encriptada, si esta se llegara a desencriptar ten por seguro que pronto recibiras cientos de anuncios de publicidad en tu correo. Desde Pirate Bay recomiendan cambiar las contraseñas a todo aquel que este registrado y se disculpan por este problema.

User data stolen but not unsecured

Hi, we have some sad news, but don’t be alarmed…

Some people (and yes, we know who) found a security hole on our web site (in fact, actually in this blog).

They have got a copy of the user database. That is, your username and passwords. But, the passwords are stored encrypted, so it’s not a big deal, but it’s still very sad that it’s out there. All e-mails are for instance encrypted as well, they will most likely not be able to decrypt them either (they are _very_ encrypted).

We encourage all our users to change passwords as soon as possible - and if you have the same password on the bay as other places, you should update them as well.

Sorry for the mess, but we are all human and we miss something sometimes.
